Migani Draft

I'm uncertain when I will either work on this drawing, or update this blog in the future. But I really want other people to see this picture.

Living Color Jaigoroh

Here is the Queens Djaggerung who is addressed as Jaigoroh.

Always a promising rendering, I hope the colors excentuate this promise.

Zosseous Sonmen Mini-Animation

Hello, I am currently teaching animation at a small alternative High School, and I have assigned my students a rather ambitious final project. To help encourage (hopefully not discourage...) I will be working along side of them, creating my own final project. I'd like to tell a funny little self-contained story about when new Zosseous students recieve their uniforms for the first time. I hope there will be some cute accidents and funny little encounters, as the students monkey with their ZoZe-infused clothing.

I am still working on the Citan Story, but it's not the biggest focus, as the characters and concepts of the story need more time to brew. I hope this will be a cute little movie which I can post on this Blog.

However, there is a short Citan Story concept animation which I will post here soon, and I would really love to read any comments or ideas you might have in regards to it.

Ayamara Concept Sketch

Hello, I thought I would post some of the latest drawings and brainwaves which have been brewing as of recently. Thank you for posting to the comment areas, otherwise I don't think I would be typing here right now.

Pictured above is a concept sketch for a girl named Ayamara. She is a senior at the Zosseous, and I always think of her as being very sexy, yet business-like. I think she would use sexuality as a weapon, or as leverage in a negotiation. However, my friend pointed out to me that I forgot to draw her glasses, because I think glasses would help bring out that professional air.

Here is a sample for the concept animation I hope to have finished by next week...

Weekly Updates

Ahh... it feels good to be finished.

But I am afeared that my skills will dwindle if I do not keep them active.
So I've decided to have a weekly update on this site, every friday.

Probably it will just be a drawing every week. But at least it will be something.

As for the teaser trailer?.. Yeah, it probably won't happen until I buy my new computer... which might not be too far away...

And today? No post, but I feel that if I say I will do a weekly drawing here. It's more likely to happen. But for now, More video games!!

the ZoZe epic: The Temptation to Fail

the first statement of the ZoZe epic is now in public form. the voices enlivening the characters may take a few more forms until this project comes entirely to rest, and there is a scene which shall be added on a later date. But for now, the 'Temptation to Fail' has been submitted to public viewenfluence.

Check again soon, as a short teaser will be posted here.

Here's a sneak peek at the final sequence between Fuhiyo and Margwa.
I really like their colors. It makes me excited for some potential sequel.

Judgement Call

Text will play an important relationship with image in the ZoZe epic. But I am debateting on how I should approach this for the Temtpation to Fail. the Storyboards have always called for a simple black text on a white background, or vice versa. With images and text sharing the screen, but never really co-mingling right in the same frame.
Yet in this animation draft, the text is very much at play with the image... pherhaps too much?

I am afaid this animation loses the simple elegance of the previous opening sequence.

Even if you don't know what I'm talking about, please leave a comment!

Thanks

Watch movie?


I think we can expect the final drafts to be alot smoother... with more special effects... backgrounds... and context...
let's hope

not much But Something

I am beginning to feel out the how's and what's of animating the frames.

Watch movie?


I apologize about the sound error.

Welcome to the Zosseous

What's Up?

Reitimitations of the ZoZe way.

Mmmm, I am finally basking in the joy that creativity can bring.
Last night I was really struggling with this and that, although able to procure many of the materials that I would require for my compilations. I was not pleased with my artistic coordinations.
Today begun in auspicious rendeavouzs with creative coaching from my music master, who sent me spinning on expanded ideas of how to approach my production, precisely the prescription I having hoped for. But with no half hour for spare, I met with another creative consort, collaborator, and instructdescriptivator. Chatting more generally, but with his piercing perceptions he pilfered my secret intentimentiations for my alleged ZoZe quest.
This man, my BFA advisor, has a mastery of articulation, through which he did upon me the gift of reilluminating semi-forgotten goals and accomplishmintentions.
So revealmembered was my desirection for the ZoZe production, as be to harness and emancipate an original exploit of experimental animation, and the condensation of storytelling information. Hithertowithin this vehicle of communication, is a permutation of traditional anime, and an homage of game creadirection, and the older classics of our culture. So I see.
The Temptation to Fail, is not on a frantic trail of desire to succeed. But instead flows from the sun, urging and loving us in our begun, changing with the fluctuations of the day, which will ulti-mati-fye but not be just-i-fied by the casting of our seeds. Success will reside, unnattainably within reach upon the crest of the great breech. and Not, as I had thought, in the attaining of A to B.

There is no need to succumb to resignation, just as the rain is present on your face, you have the right to succeed. So as it is, so let it be.


By the way, here's a link to some (unfinished) audio for the Introductory Movie

Feb. 14th: thee Ongoing Upto

Hello, I've been working on coloring the frames for the Temptation to Fail. These crowd scenes are particularly fun but time consuming. I'm hoping it will be possib le for me to color almost every frame by the end of this term. So I will post some of the more striking here for anyone to see.

Enjoy ^^

Still Working...
